"CIRCE'S FUNHOUSE! Where anything can happen...to you!"

When I received that first, surprise, out-of-the-blue invitation to something called a "Furry Party" at 1988's Philcon sci-fi convention, it was too late to attend that year. So instead, I drew a mini-poster for the Funhouse (which had already existed for years in my head and TF art) featuring three of my characters: Mr. Airwick (scent TF) Bonita Bunny (TF carrots) and Mel Camel (pronounced "Mel K'Mel") from Mongolia (where those shaggy, two-humped and very dumb-looking Bactrian camels come from) who peddles TF hashish -

Only problem was Mel, as they say, "was getting high on his own supply" and was always too wrecked to sell his TF hash to dumb young tourists and sell them into cameldom, so he never became as well known as Mr. Airwick and Bonita to Funhouse fans.

The story of receiving that surprise invitation to the first East Coast furry party is at the beginning of my first book about furry history, Furry Nation WHICH EVERYONE SHOULD RUN OUT AND BUY FIVE COPIES TODAY, AS WELL AS SHOES THAT LOOK LIKE HOOVES, PAWS, CLAWS, and GOLD SNEAKERS AT MY MERCH STORE! (Which doesn't actually exist...yet.)
